Suggest Remedies For Severe Constant Stomach Pain In Teens

My 15 year old granddaughter complains with her stomach hurting most of the time. She missed so much school that she now is home and does online school. She used to love salads but now they hurt her stomach. She will eat a hamburger at home and some other foods. Pizza for one. Chicken bacon ranch. She just wants to lay in the bed most of the day. But goes to the gym with her mom, so she is getting some exercise. I never see her eat any breakfast. Sometimes has pancakes for supper. I am worried about her. Don t know what to do.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you grand daughter is having symptoms of severe constant stomach pain which could be due to many reasons such as

- Food intolerance

- Due to decreased gastric motility

- Gastroesophageal reflux disease

- Inadequate intake of fluids and fibre rich diet

- Eating a lot of dairy products

- Some medications like antidepressants, acidity and certain conditions like hypothyroidism.

- Irritable bowel syndrome

Need not to worry. You should avoid intake of sharp, spicy and hot food substances. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order colonoscopy or other tests to look for blockages in your colon , barium studies and blood test for hormonal changes. You should start with drinking a lot of water , do light exercises and avoid fatty and heavy meals. Doctor may prescribe fibre supplement, osmotic laxatives , stool softeners and medicine to reduce acidity.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
